Please help me with my United States History Questions thanks!!!?
Colin Powell has a carefully groomed image as a man of integrity. We saw him leave the Bush administration mid stream, and hear him talk of being misled. Would a competent Secretary of State be so easily misled. Seems like it should have been easy for a man in his position to see through the false evidence he reported to the UN. The we look back to his role in covering up the massacre at My Lai.

Face it he knew he was being used to help start the Iraq war. There is no way the most famous pilot of the Texas Air National Guard or his 5 time draft deferred side kick had the credibility to get the war rolling. They needed Powell's uniform and reputation. It seems that Powell went along with the plan of this preening adolescent president. That is not the actions of a man with integrity. That is the actions of a coward.I used to have respect for the man. As I dig deeper I find dissapointment. Somehow he has a high 'likeability' factor. I keep asking myself how I was willing to overlook his complicity in the coverup of My Lai. My Lai is easily the worst stain on America's reputation.


Is Colin Powell a man of integrity or is it a facade?
a. allow military leaders more independence.
b. prevent tragedies like the My Lai Massacre.
c. limit the president's authority to wage war.
d. increase the president's authority to wage war.

Summary on "The My Lai Massacre" along with a captioned image?
The My Lai massacre was blown out of proportion. Children and women were forced to walk up to soldiers and detonate an explosive. Combatants and civilians were hard to distinguish one from the other, and the enemy disappeared into the civilian population, protected by their threats of retaliation to those who gave them away.
In Iraq, it is the same. Even in Somalia, knowing who the bad guys were was difficult.
When soldiers today fire on who they think is an enemy, only to find out they were wrong, do we jump too harshly on them. I am not talking about purposely going around shooting indiscriminately, but just pulling the trigger too quickly for fear of getting killed by someone who looks more like a civilian than a soldier.
